Newcastle United barely survived the English Premier League last season, the Magpies even forced to win their final fixture just to stave off relegation. On August 9, 20:30 (GMT+8) at St. James' Park, Steve McClaren's side will host Southampton FC, a club that has spent most of its 2014-15 season in the top half of the table. Can Newcastle United start their campaign strong this time en route to a constant top half spot?
